Apple-logoed Machinegun

John Otteson from Salt Lake City sent a picture of his Christmas present: an AR15 rifle.

"My liberal intellectual friends have been giving me s**t about the 'redneck machine gun' that Santa kindly brought me this year," he writes. "They are wrong in that it is not at all a machine gun, but they are quite right in that it IS redneck. So I thought I would try to upgrade the cultural aesthetics of my new maligned xmas gift. I wanted something that screamed 'sensitive, caring, enlightened, liberal intellectual.'"

Hence the Apple sticker.

He added: "It's class-based humor and a juxtaposition. The Mac crowd is seen as more educated, liberal, even sensitive, and the rifle is quite redneck... I use it for target shooting... Bro and I have decided to call it the iKill."
